★ Tourist location: Changshu Shajiabang Scenic Area

I have always wanted to see the reeds in winter, and I happened to want to bring home two Shajiabang specialty chicken. I usually buy it in Shajiabang, and I only know that the three chicken shops here taste good. So on the way back, I went to Shajiabang for a while, bought a good chicken and put it in the trunk, and just went in for a stroll again. Parking the car in front of someone's shop also saves parking fees. As for tickets, with the annual card in hand, you don't have to pay for a tour within a year. It's a free trip, so I feel good.

Walking into the scenic area is completely different from the way I used to come here on holidays to see the sea of people. I was the only one who swiped my ID card at the entrance. No one would blame you for blocking the way even if I wanted to walk sideways! You know, the last time we came here was the May Day holiday, and we couldn't even enter the parking lot. We had to park on a farther road. I had to take two bus stops on the way back before I could pick up the bus and go home.

I am used to seeing the sea of people in Shajiabang. Such a cold scenic spot really gives people a refreshing feeling. What I like most is this kind of quiet tour, and I suddenly feel that I have come to the right place this time! Walking in the usually bustling Hengjing Old Street and listening to the echo of my footsteps on Shiban Street, it seems to have a taste of independence. Climbing the tower, the usually noisy crowd had disappeared. When a photo was taken, it was found that there was not a single figure in the camera. Suddenly, he was so happy that he couldn't help but take advantage of this rare opportunity to press the shutter number N times.

Finally, I saw the reed flowers in winter, which were different from the tender green in autumn. They had faded all the fresh green, leaving only a neutral color. The sky is not too blue and the waters everywhere, and it always feels that this color is the right match. Although it was less lively, it was more calm. It was as if a woman was walking slowly from her girlhood. When she got closer, she was already over fifty years old. Although there is no youthful appearance, it is more elegant and elegant. The vastness between heaven and earth was particularly deep when sitting in the heron viewing pavilion, although I didn't see a single egret. Maybe it was nearly dusk when I arrived, and even if there were occasionally two or three egrets left behind, they would have long since returned to their nests.

The whole reed flowers are withered in color, setting off a large area of water. What is reflected in the water is no longer the green in the eyes, but it feels that this color is more realistic. The tree on the side also lost all its leaves, leaving only bare branches. Of course, evergreen tree species are indispensable in Jiangnan, so there is still a lot of greenery. But I am even more greedy to look at these withered reeds, which are the true nature of life's fading prosperity.

The lotus pond was filled with dead branches and leaves, but it was not cleaned up. I really wish there would be a less heavy rain at this time."Leave the withered lotus to listen to the sound of the rain". I'm afraid it would also be a wonderful music. Unfortunately, although the weather was a little cloudy today, not even a drop of rain fell, so this beautiful wish was doomed to fail. However, although the withered lotus in the pool is not as good as red, fat, green and thin, it still has a unique flavor.

Of course, winter is not just withered color, but wax plum blossoms bloom in accordance with the season and are fragrant in accordance with the season. You can smell the unique aroma of wintersweet from afar. Follow the fragrance and you can accurately find a wintersweet. I always thought that wintersweet would be beautiful when it was opened under the eaves of the corner, but when I saw wintersweet on the Diaozhu Crossing Bridge, I realized that wintersweet could also shine near the water. The bright golden color is a ray of sunshine in the cold winter.

The reed is actually still green, and it looks even more gratifying in the large withered reeds. The reed flowers are also as white as the reed flowers, and the clusters are very cute.

Osmanthus flowers are also in bloom, about the variety of laurel or Sijigui. We sniffed it closely, and the aroma was very light, which had long been concealed by the aroma of wintersweet not far away.

Jade Crab Pond and Snake Creek are attractions that we have repeatedly ignored. Although they are just two clusters of small ponds, and there are no crabs or snakes, I can only guess that it is about the shape of the small pond that allows you to see the appearance of crabs and snakes.

Along the way, although the scenery is not as bright as in spring and summer, it is still quiet. It is almost rare to meet one or two groups of tourists, who are probably here to hide in peace. This trip to Shajiabang really enjoyed a rare tranquility.
